This may help explain what the CE rating system is or isn''t. It comes from a website of a Florida dealer of Island Packet yachts.


What are CE standards?
Since June 1996 all boats sold in the European community have had to meet this set of standards covering design, materials, construction and stability. Island Packet Yachts underwent inspection and were given Category A ratings (for unlimited offshore use) by the International Marine Certification Institute (IMCI) and were the first US sailboat builder to be so certified.
